I don't want to drive the actual people out so much as I want their ideology driven out.

I don't want that **** in my country.
It goes against everything this country stands for.

you "Nazi appeaser."

Actually, Robert E. Lee was against erecting Confederate memorials.

There's been much controversy in Charlottesville and beyond about preserving monuments to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

But if you had a chance to ask the guy, he'd most likely say, no thanks.

Based on his writings, Lee was not a fan of statues honoring Civil War generals, fearing they might "keep open the sores of war."

According to historian Jonathan Horn, Lee was often consulted in his lifetime about proposals to erect monuments to Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson and others.

In a 1866 letter to fellow Confederate Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, Lee wrote, "As regards the erection of such a monument as is contemplated, my conviction is, that however grateful it would be to the feelings of the South, the attempt ... would have the effect of ... continuing, if not adding to, the difficulties under which the Southern people labour."

Three years later, Lee was invited to a meeting of Union and Confederate officers to mark the placing of a memorial honoring those who took part in the battle of Gettysburg.

"I think it wiser not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered," he wrote in a letter declining the invitation.

But that didn't stop civic and heritage groups from erecting numerous monuments to Lee, commander of the Confederate armies during the Civil War, after his death in 1870.

Now, however, most of those memorials are under fire by those who see them as symbols of America's dark legacy of slavery.

In the immediate aftermath of the Charlottesville terror attack, the far-right website GotNews posted what seemed like a huge scoop.

The website said it could "exclusively reveal" that the person who had run over a group of demonstrators in a Dodge Charger was not a white nationalist, but instead a critic of President Donald Trump.

The Michigan man GotNews had identified was in fact not the driver.

He was not even in Virginia at the time.

But within hours he and his family had been forced to flee their home at the advice of local police, who expressed concern for their safety after a slew of death threats rolled in.

The family's flight from their home capped off a feverish attempt by right-wing sleuths to discover the culprit behind the Charlottesville attack and dig into his or her history, seemingly in hopes of proving the person was not of a right-wing political persuasion.

Gonna have to rename them.
Right? We can do this all night. Fulbright next?

Why do you want to honor those who worked actively to keep segregation alive and well?

I offered no opinion on my feelings about the statue.

Yet you have now posted 4 or 5 replies to my post, trying to start an argument with me over it.
You keep posting them and I'll keep moving them.

So you had no idea what my opinion was, yet you posted four or five posts arguing with me anyway?
This is why I ignore you.

See my last post.
